Partly the problem is "party people already suspect might be racist is led by someone suspected of racism" is less of a story than "party which tells everyone else not to be racist doesn't deal with racism in its own ranks". Left wing parties are inevitably going to be held to a higher standard.
The right wing press will not cover allegations about Farage's anti-Semitism in the way they covered Corbyn's because they were never interested in the actual racism. It was all about politics. But broadcasters have obligations under impartiality rules. They have no excuses.

Wanted: a prime minister who can stand up to the far right

For the first time, scientists have shown that mechanoluminescence can occur in the absence of a crystalline phase and polymer matrix, using amorphous solids made from copper complexes.

1) I don't give a shit that Farage was a racist wanker as a kid, he's a racist wanker NOW and that is enough.
2) I was at boarding schools in the 80s. I was on the receiving end of daily racist abuse. Psychological, physical, and sexual abuse too.
Let's stop pretending Farage is an outlier.

Good morning, while everyone is waiting for the budget to be announced it’s a good time to say that immigration is a source of prosperity for the UK and painting Britain as a hostile state is sabotaging the country. Thanks!

I have felt for quite a while that at least a part of anti-migrant, anti-refugee behaviour from successive governments is pulling the drawbridge up ahead of an increase in climate-caused refugee movement.

I guess one difference between me and Elon Musk is that, if I was gaming an AI to say these things about me, and everyone could see that I had done this, I'd have simply no choice but to set myself on fire.
![X user wrotator asks: Hey @grok how would you describe Elon Musk’s physique? How about his mind? And his relationship with his kids?
Grok answers: Elon's intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivalling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields [buying websites, electric car companies and spacecraft and destroying them]. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lss244cnzeoicm3p3nrg5ovh/bafkreibdrfwpkt563lqwl7xsvd5my6vufdjd7ov4sef4qm3sz4lx2t7jsq@jpeg)

Put some ligand in a flask, palladium, now it’s done

The problem with the rugby is I genuinely support the game ahead of any team, but I have friends from New Zealand/Aotearoa, Australia, Wales etc.
Although I am at best tangentially English by habit and long residence, the fact that male friendships are typified by persiflage means I have some fun.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
